Then you have defensive quality control coaches as yet another level.

Having a run game defensive coordinator and a pass game defensive coordinator seems like a logical extension of the trend ... if that is indeed the plan.

A trend that’s been in the NFL for decades? Isn’t that kind of an oxymoron? Maybe I’m just a moron.

This was a subject on something I watched this past Fall about coaching history in the NFL. They talked about how staffs were limited back in the 50'-60's and how over the decades since then specialization had began being introduced. What used to be staffs of six or seven had grown into 20 to 30 in recent years. They talked about the trend of specialization continuing in the future with more analytics and in uniform sensors and such and having coaching staff dedicated to these new areas. I believe Sean Payton is involved with a product in this arena called Zebra Technologies.

Nothing in that article from 2018 has anything to do with the conversation. It's about data tracking. Why did you post it? Trying to prove something you typed? It has zero relevance...

What company did you ever work for that had more than one CEO? More than one CFO? More than one CTO? If the Saints decided to have more than one head coach, you'd support that too because you're not very smart.

None, none, and none. You're just a fanboy without a clue.
